Mulberry - Women's Autumn/Winter 2017-18 collection in London with interview

Designer: Johnny CocaAtmosphere: Johnny Coca’s third collection which evokes ‘the English style’ and how to reinterpret the heritage of a designer like Mulberry in a modern and urban spirit. Silhouette: Suits with jackets and big tweed skirts, capes linking with the coats used to cover horses, just as the long-sleeved blouses and tie collars or the riding boots are all borrowed from horse riding. The embroidery is inspired by wall paper patterns from old English homes and the naturalistic design of Mulberry Home used on the furniture. To note: The shoes, the boots, of course the bags but also the pieces of the jewelry work as the chic family jewels of pearls and porcelain. Johnny Coca : It amused me, the sense that there is a contrast in what we like when we watch old English films, there is this contrast between London, the very classic part and the countryside part. And when we see the two mix, it is something completely extreme, which is finally the essence of London.And so, I mixed all these codes and all these attitudes. It’s basically in the level of attitudes, the very tailored side, the very English and classic mixed with something much more casual, easier, and taking from historical references from the 70’s or 20’s to create something very particular and strong in terms of attitude.Music from the show (only to be used in the context of the show, protected by the right to information.)

Luxe bag-maker Mulberry is slowly turning around its performance as it launches new products, boosts digital and expands in Asia, the US and Europe. But while London is buoyant, the rest of the UK has proved weak.

​UK sustainable luxury brand Bottletop has opened on Regent Street as the street continues its rise as a destination for debut/flagship stores. And the new store is a blend of art, technology and ultra-sustainability.

Selfridges had unveiled the second phase of its giant accessories hall makeover saying it takes it “one step closer to opening the largest luxury accessories hall in the world”. It has also added a quirky Corner Shop.

In a season marked by many retailers changing their approach for their Christmas campaigns, Mulberry has stuck to its tradition of creating quirky films that still manage to put its product at the heart of the message.

​Burberry shares continued to fall Friday as investors were spooked about planned changes at the label and the money they will cost. But Belgian Billionaire Albert Frere took the opportunity to raise his stake.

Kiss Products Inc. has announced it will open its first ever pop-up shop called the Beauty Bar by Kiss. The New York pop-up shop will offer two days of manicures, a lash experience and influencer meet and greets.

Tourist spending in the UK reached £643m last month with a £2.4bn bonanza expected for the summer overall as tourists flock to fashion and luxury stores across the country, according to payments firm Worldpay.

Mulberry has added another joint venture (JV) in Asia with news that it has signed an agreement with existing license partner Onward Global Fashion to form a 50:50 JV company to operate its business in Japan.

All hail the Zipped Bayswater as new products helped Mulberry's sales power ahead in the year to March 31. But comp sales have slowed in this fiscal year so it's too soon to turn the page on the brand's recovery story.
